If you are a fan of the barbecue at Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que you'll have to drive a bit farther to get a serving now.

The restaurant in the Annapolis Restaurant Park on Jennifer Road closed recently as the Minnesota-based chain refocuses because of declining sales. In early May, the company announced to shareholders that it would speed up plans to re-franchise more than 120 locations and concentrate on its 33 company-owned restaurants in the next two years .

The company said it had already closed three restaurants in the first part of the year, and could shut more. It did not identify which locations, but a phone recording at the Annapolis location on Friday confirmed that it has been shut down. Company officials were not immediately available for comment.

Last year, 11 company owned locations cost the company nearly $3.4 million, and revenues were down 6.3 percent in the final three months of 2016.

Famous Dave's opened at the restaurant park in 2000 after it bought out a smaller Virginia chain. In addition to a lake country decor, the restaurant was famous for serving some of its menu items on platters stylized to look like metal trashcan lids.
